AuthorTopic: Texas vs Columbia (Read 1571 times)

I live in Austin. I have a fiancee and a house here. I got into UT. The tuition is in state, they've offered me a nice scholarship, so here I am LONG decided that UT is the school for me....BUT I'm second guessing myself. I also got into Columbia. I've not been offered any money, so the debt would be huge, I mean, it's NYC after all. I've read a lot of stuff on here about going to the best school you can get into, but TX is just so easy. If I go to Columbia, I have to sell the house, and do the long-distance thing with my honey - again - he just got back from completing his residency in NC. A new perspective may help. Thanks.

Well, it sounds like you enjoy Texas and wish to remain. If that's the truth, UT-Austin will provide you every opportunity you could want inside Texas. Considering the scholarship, going to UT maybe the perfect situation.

Here's one thing to definitely consider; Texas and Columbia, supposedly, have entirely different cultures of academia. Texas of course has smart students who have done well previously, but the school is also reputed to be laid-back with relatively less average studying than peer schools. On the other hand, I've heard that CLS is major league intense. I think its really worth considering which academic culture you prefer more.

Sorry to state the obvious, but this is one of the more difficult "What should I do's".

CLS is not "major league intense"...I, and most of my friends, are quite lazy. Perhaps I shouldn't say that, but I am. I don't have to be intense bc I go to CLS.

I sort of got a facebook message from Victoria from last season about how was that me posting about her over there? And I was like, yes. It was. And then I was embarrassed. So I've been a little removed from the ANTM boards this cycle. Also because all the girls are busted except Fatima and she's a female dog whose walk sucks, so I've sort of got no horse this go round. I want Tyra to quit and Naomi Campbell to take over, so bad.

I'm going to cut a female dog. With a knife with a brown handle, natch.

amazing until she gets annoyed at one of the girls and throws her cell phone at them. (hi goalie )

Dash, how did she figure out it was you? it's not like your real name and posting name is similar? i don't remember you giving up that much identifying info on the board aside from school.

The cell phone throwing would be the best part.

I basically outed myself by being too specific about how I knew her: I said we had a section together and that she was always quiet, sat in the corner, and wore hoodie sweatshirts. I guess there were a limited number of sections where she did that, and, it being a rather small section (and all girls--random), I suppose she was able to narrow it down. Also, she is a smart cookie. She was extremely nice about it. And now she is dating the hottest/nicest guy to ever exist/to ever come across my path in real life. Although he is Canadian. But other than that, perfect.
